Sometimes there are things I really want to write about but they don’t fit into any of my regular features, and I don’t have enough to say to fill a whole post. For this purpose I have invented a new…
New Pop on the Block →
Tove Styrke - White Light Moment (listen) Only 16 but strikingly beautiful and naturally cool, Tove Styrke could easily become the biggest star to emerge from Sweden’s Idol series… and she…
Fans of cheeky fun pure pop need to hear this! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-wdTKpFmnk
Oh dear, don’t think Jessica Lowndes is gonna be a popstar after all - her single with DJ Ironik’s only just top 40 in the midweeks!
Amazing pic from today’s gig! http://plixi.com/p/52856793 (that’s actually Max not Jay btw!)
Random appearance from Dana Glover in this week’s Desperate Housewives! Remember this? http://bit.ly/8Yc2OS
I went as a half-hearted cat. Or quarter-hearted as @jaythewanted called it, but hey, at least I wasn’t in make-up for 3 hours!
Just back from @thewantedmusic Halloween party. Saw @electroqueer @eddrewett @gmd3music @camillakerslake and some of @inkymusic.
Woohoo @thewantedmusic debut album is out NOW! http://bit.ly/TW-iTunes
I love that P!nk is considered a guity pleasure. I’d feel guilty if I liked her too.
Can’t wait for tonight X Factor - this theme sounds like it’s gonna be a beautiful disaster! http://bit.ly/aEAbro

Wow @mattedmondson’s hair really is the hot topic of the day!
This fan cover of Insatiable shows all Nadine’s flaws. It’s so much better acoustic with a more soulful, heatfelt vocal http://bit.ly/9w1Att
Curly hair fans will love @mattedmondson’s new profile pic! http://twitter.com/account/profile_image/MattEdmondson

I even thought Donkeyboy and Daisy Dares You would do better than Example…
Oh dear, my 2010 predictions weren’t too accurate - just looked back and I thought Fabio Lendrum would do better than Example :(
Cute singing kids time! This one’s a lyrical genius http://www.youtube.com/user/RyanRussellMusic
The Next Big Thing? →
One Call Boybands are certainly back in the UK, so it’s only a matter of time til the USA catches up. Who will be the BSBs or *N Sync of this decade? Despite being signed to Jive I’m not sure…
Why so many songs called The Flood this year? Cheryl, Take That, Katie Melua…
Thinking of an easy Wizard of Oz-related Halloween costume - any ideas?
RT @scandipop: New Eric Saade video, ‘It’s Gonna Rain’ http://www.telia.se/privat/produkter_tjanster/noje/?sl=privat_produkter_tjanster_noje

Taio Cruz featuring Kylie Minogue - Higher (Listen) After the huge disappointment of Taio’s second album (Break Your Heart was the only song on a par with his debut) I was very relieved to find…
Skins USA actually looks kind of amazing! http://popwatch.ew.com/2010/10/21/ew-exclusive-skins-trailer/ (via @teentoday)
New BEPs song - surefire hit but equally certain to be the most irritating song of the next few months http://bit.ly/ddpGVr

Just got stuck behind my sofa! Life is one long assault course when you live in a flat as small as mine.
Am I being dim or is The Apprentice only available in HD on iPlayer? My internet connection isn’t good enough to watch it so I’m stuck :(
Distinct lack of feather boas in this photo http://yfrog.com/cbyb6gj

The Next Big Thing? →
Black Cards I was never a fan of Fall Out Boy but the fact that Pete Wentz’s new band has a female singer was enough to intrigue me to hear what their music’s like. Surprisingly, I really like it!…
Wish I could press pause on the day, have a little think, and then resume when I’m ready.
